I'm Glad My Mom Died

I thought that I left a review, but I guess not?

This book wasn't literary and the person in it has made plenty of mistakes and bad life decisions, but they are also someone I saw on TV a lot as a child and they have been through experiences no child should be forced to have. It is relatable in certain aspects, but her abuse has also been closely linked with her mom wanting her fame which is a bit of a rarer motivation (I hope, I actually don't know). Her journey with relationships and her eating disorders is so open here and something that already, no doubt, has touched a ton of people.

I love that she can say now that the relative dying in some ways relieved her of a ton of burdens that the relative instilled in her. It may not be, again, a very detailed book or the one with beautiful prose, but it's so open and out there that it's hard to hate it in any way since so many people wouldn't be brave enough to make their life into art like this.
